You need to have a lawyer review the mortgage documents to see whether or not the mortgage is assignable.
Is your name on the mortgage? If not, than the bank can not go after you, but the back will have a lien on the property for the amount of the mortgage & can foreclose on the property.
If you have further questions, you can call me at 201-646-9600.
Very truly yours,
